Day 07 - A scene that made you cry
Well, this is just not going to work. I'm a very easy crier when it comes to TV & movies (and even songs!) I have cried about a bazillion times watching this show. The fact that I was able to narrow it down to just three scenes is to be congratulated. I don't think I need to explain why these scenes made me cry. Wonderwall played, people, FUCKING WONDERWALL. I'm getting teary right now just thinking about it! (Told you I was easy!) People realising that they're dead = sadtiems. :'( Shaz is the one that really gets me in the first scene because, as I've said, Wonderwall! and because she takes it the hardest. Oh, Shaz! You hadn't even had a life. :'(
The second one is, well, that scene up there. Alex is dead, you guys, DEAD. She can never go home to Molly!! ;___; And to top all that, she can't even stay with Gene either. Ever since I started watching the show (about a year ago now! I checked through my tumlr. ;)) I'd been all sadtiems about how she was going to have to choose between Molly and Gene (or how the choice would be made for her.) But to get to stay with neither. IT IS HARSH. Also, Keeley's performance is heartbreaking, yes. 9:06, it's always 9:06! That was the time in her hospital room, that was the time... Also, Molly's scarf, Keats? That is NOT ON. You all heard the noises she makes when she smells it, yes? And you all heard her say "My baby" ? If you did not cry, you have no soul. Also, "See you around, Bollykecks." "Goodbye, Guv." ;____; That is all.
But honestly? This scene makes me cry the hardest. I have gone on about how Alex's story in series 1 affects me quite uhm, deeply before. Which basically means I sob like a little idiot a lot. Especially in this scene. It uhm, may have happened while I was capping? It's her mother! Her mother that died when she was a kid! And now she got a second chance to be with her and she's telling her they were going to do all these lovely things together. And that she loves her. Like, a lot. Plus, Alex cries an enormous amount in this scene and that's sure to have me in bits too. Alex is just standing there looking like she's about to have a nervous breakdown and Caroline just reaches out to her and hugs her and the music does this little crescendo thing. And then Alex cries and goes "Mummy!" I cannot handle it!! (Also, Caroline? Well, she dies the next day. Yeah.) *wipes tears*
